Dynadot Official Thread

Hi all!

We’ve created this thread to make it easier to communicate with us here on Namepros, and we’ll also be posting regular updates on our offers and products. Please feel free to share any feedback and suggestions with us, or to let us know if there’s anything we can assist with.

We’d like to kick things off with an extension of our $7.99 .COM transfer sale, the code “COMTRANS4” has been extended until 23:59 PST on May 31, and there’s no limit on how many domains you can transfer using the code. Every month we have great prices on a wide selection of domains, and you can find a full list of our sales here:

We’re also excited to share that our CEO, Todd Han, will be hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) right here on Namepros in the near future, with more information on a date and time coming soon.

A small thing, but in the "Manage Domains" section, if you choose to display the "Other Registrars" tab, the tab says "Other Registar" without the second "r".

 

[DnDigger]

Would be convenient to have saved Dynadot DNS profiles which could be applied after registration as default or manually selected later so you wouldn't need to pick TXT records everytime.

Ability to list domain names for sale as soon as they are registered instead of waiting for 5 days.

in processing queue (usually processed within 24 hours)

 

[ecomslice]

Thank you for letting us know, I've asked our team to have the spelling updated there.

Thank you for the suggestion, I've passed this on to our team as a feature request for preset DNS profiles. For new registrations, you can currently set the default name servers or DNS records you'd like to use by adjusting your settings here:

This isn't possible at the moment unfortunately, as our team previously encountered issues with domains that needed to be grace deleted but had already been purchased by another user through our marketplace. Due to this, domain names can't be listed for sale until their grace deletion period has ended at this time.

Are you experiencing delays with order processing? I can take a look into that, I'd just need to ask you to privately message us with your Dynadot username.

 

[Dynadot]

I'm sorry, we don't have any coupon codes for renewals at the moment. We do have some renewal sales running however, you can find those listed towards the bottom of our sales page:

Guys,

This company is actually rubbish in terms of customer support.

My ticket got closed due to inactivity but I have been waiting for their response.

27/12/2020: Ticket raised by Dynadot staff
28/12/2020: I respond with a little more clarity
31/12/2020: I ask for an update
05/01/2020: Your ticket has been closed due to inactivity. No response nothing.

I am no longer able to respond to reopen this request.

Ticket #8941

I REPEAT THEY ARE SH**. Take your money and go elsewhere, they are not the cheapest anyways.

Its going to be brutal if they ban me now for calling them out here on the forums.

Apologies again for the delayed response to the ticket, our team updated the ticket within your Dynadot account on January 9 and it looks like the original request has now been fulfilled.

Whilst we don't have a specific DNS-profile feature at this time, our team has advised that you can use our domain folders to achieve the same result. You would first need to create folders within your account by using the 'New Folder' button here:

https://www.dynadot.com/account/domain/folder.html

Once your folders have been created, you can use the link under the 'DNS" column to set the default DNS records or name servers for the folder. Any domains added to the folder will then be automatically set to use the folder's default records. To add your domains to the folders, you'd just need to follow the steps here:

Thank you, we really do appreciate all of the support I've passed the request on to our marketing team regarding renewal offers on those TLDs, so hopefully we'll be able to include those in our future sales.

For some domains, when I set Afternic or SedoMLS, it shows that it was confirmed but actually it isn't confirmed. More informative message what happened would be helpful.

 

[Berserker]

In the "security" section of your account, if you don't have a smartphone to set up 2FA, Dynadot got you:

For those customers without a smartphone, we also support sending codes through SMS. Carrier fees may apply.

(Note: On top of that, there are software to generate TOTP [2FA] codes on computers. So you can use 2FA without smartphone.)

EDIT: Oh, I guess I just understood: They mean "if you have a phone, but only a very basic one", not "if you don't have a phone" (I understood the latter, reason why I was finding it funny)

 

[tiletalk]

My problems were resolved after putting it here on the thread. Thank you.

 

[Parmeet]

Is it a good idea to enlist newly registered domains(60 days locked) from dynadot on Afternic at BIY. I have read that dynadot is a part of afternic network. Is the process smooth provided I get a sale.

Hi, any active coupon for a new rereg dot coms?

 

[Berserker]

Are you logged out from Dynadot after a certain time, even if you're using it? I'm not sure how it works exactly, but it seems pretty annoying to me. Especially when you setup 2FA (which I also seem to need to try 2 or 3 times on each attempt to be able to log in successfully).

I think there is an option, somewhere in the settings, where you decide how long it will take before the system logs you out.

Edit:
here is the path,
